kicking off the season.

being a retail girl has it's perks. you don't have to sit at a desk all day, ocasionally getting to sleep extra late when you have a closing shift, but also a sweet discount! the best part about retail is the holidays. it's so hectic and the customers get a little crazy, but it's worth it. seeing the store decorated, the holiday music playing - it's always fun! unfortunately, once the holiday season begins, the retail schedule fills up quickly. so this is why we already had our little holiday party for work this past sunday.

jennifer hosted the party at her cute little apartment in red hook.
ps, never assume that your cab driver knows where red hook is. this trip could have been smoother with some type of a GPS device.


as you can see, the required dress was a cute apron!


jenna displays how to use a telephone seat, which i though was totally cool! expecially since it was that glittery blue platic, kind of like a carnival ride!


highly recomended. raspberry beer. doesn't really taste like beer, but sparkly and fruity! i couldn't get enough! (and I am not a big beer drinker!)


the closing crew arrives and brings their classy beer!


nik's chocolate dipped ruffels went along nicely with beer. also a great PMS treat. i was addicted! can't stop eatin' 'em!


as i demonstrate here.


it's also ellen's and edgar's birthdays! and someone remembered the cake!


and all the while we were there, we were being watched over ... god bless.
